To be fair, when I send my 4 year old to the closest shop, my concerns have absolutely nothing to do with the safety of the environment (e.g. actions of others), and everything with how much I trust him not to be an idiot.

If we had a shop only two streets over it would be doable at that age.

Is traffic an issue at that age?

He has a tendency to get excited and jump onto the street without checking if any cars are coming.
